Uber introduces cash payment option in Budapest!

Uber has adapted to the Hungarian market by introducing the possibility of paying with cash for rides in Budapest, the company recently announced. Although Uber typically operates cash-free, there are several cities worldwide where cash payments are accepted—and now Budapest joins that list.

Uber introduces cash payments

Passengers wishing to use cash can select the option within the app before starting their ride. If a passenger realises they don’t have enough money on hand, the app allows them to switch to a digital payment method or use a card on the driver’s terminal. Additionally, if a driver is unable to provide exact change, the American company’s customer service will assist in resolving the matter, HVG reports.

For new users, the initial cash spending limit is set at HUF 14,000. As users complete more trips, this limit may increase to HUF 20,000.
